Personally, I think all runs should require video. But atleast make runs that are below 1:35 require video. 1:25 is 4 mins off the wr in a hour and a half long speedrun. I bet 30% of these runs are fake.

I am intending to install some recording software to start livestreaming on twitch as Ganon_Dork. I however think that only speedruns that are on the competitive level need video proof.

The reason we don't require all runs to have video is because recording 3DS is not as readily available as other consoles, it requires spending a lot of money for specialized capture cards that are sometimes not available at all. Rather than gatekeep a lot of people by demanding video, this system is better to keep top times clean and let any contenders have their go at the game and only worry about the hassle that is recording this console when they want to be serious about it. Extending the limit would be fine but 1:25 is good enough for the "getting serious" part.
